DEEP PURPLE - How Deep are you?

Yeah, when I first heard it I didn't believe it was Rod Evans on vox b/c he sounded Southern in his delivery.

I love 'Come Taste the Band' a very different album then anything that came before and after, and Tommy Bolin is one hell of a guitarist

Morse is closer to Bolin than Blackmore, since they both came from jazz fusion backgrounds.

100% agree with your statement and I also think the soul/funk elements that Hughes added to the mix worked very well with Bolin

Found these on youtube it's worth checking out, technically it's Paice Ashton Lord, but close enough to Deep Purple.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mquhA6Sh75Q -Ghost Story P.A.L.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pgz1Dg_lEoM&NR=1 -Silas & Jerome P.A.L.

Both are off of Malice in Wonderland, one great album.

P.A.L. was:
Ian Paice on Drums
Jon Lord on Keyboards
Tony Ashton on Vocals
Bernie Marsden on Guitar
Paul Martinez on Bass

I take it no one really digs the P.A.L. vid clips, it really is some good stuff, too bad they never put out anything else.

I like Paice, Ashton, Lord and yes they have a live album too.

Yeah I knew that too and, ok cool I just found out that there are 8 tracks from an unfinished second album out on cd. Man I would love to find those.

1992 BBC Radio 1 Live in Concert

Recorded live on 10 March 1977 at the Golders Green Hippodrome, London. Excluding one song
2007 Paice, Ashton & Lord Live (DVD)

Recorded live on 10 March 1977 at the Golders Green Hippodrome, London. Full recording.


I have the unreleased PAL, hehe...they are on the Special Edition of "Malice".

Bastard! Do yo have the live ones too?

Yup, I got the BBC one.

Missed this thread!!!! Manny hooked me up with some DP sample cd's so I could get a good overview. I was surprised at how much I liked the CD's, especially the Morse line up!

The lineup with Morse is one of the most consistent bands for live concerts, I have yet to hear a concert recording that I haven't really enjoyed. I also saw them on the Bananas.

Here is my list of Deep Purple live albums:

Made In Japan
Made In Europe
In Concert (AKA BBC Concerts)

Nobody's Perfect
Live and Rare

This album (Live At Olympia '96) is my favorite live recording of the Morse/Lord lineup, simply flawless. Running a close second is the Montreux Anniversary concert from 2006 (They All Came Down To Montreux) which features the Morse/Airey lineup.

I just jammed Perfect Strangers for the first time in a long time and I must say I really liked it this time around.

Well, until today I wasn't Deep at all, but I got me an uber cheap used copy of the DEEPEST PURPLE compilation from GoHastings.com this week, so my DP journey is beginning anew... I haven't owned any Purp since I had PERFECT STRANGERS and MACHINE HEAD on cassette ages ago.

I've already jammed "Smoke on the Water" and "Black Night" for my kids while we drove to the store a little while ago.

Nice, here's to more Purp in the future!

That's a nice little compilation, especially since it contains some "single only" releases, a good "starter disc".
